Yeh, this has been discussed at length in the past on here. Along with Lennox Lewis and Bob Fitzsimmons among others....

You think I was nasty, wait till Steffan gets hold of this. However to be serious for a minute as the captain is fond of saying just because you're born in a stable it doesn't make you a horse.

For the love of God, how many times are we going to have to go through this. It was my saying and I paraphrased it from the Duke of Wellington. The Captain may well be one of the most knowledgeable and erudite posters on here, but this was my (stolen) saying, not his.
I'm sure he will concede that, Jeffrey, even if you can't.

Sorry Tina did not realise, obviously would not want to rob you of possibly the only insightful, interesting and vaguely humourous thing you have ever said on here.

You have obviously forgotten my story about the European Hornet and Grasshopper fight. That was a zinger.

I certainly did borrow it from old Nosey (the Duke), but I'm happy to give Tino precedence in his plagiarism, if he likes!

They are paying, in guilt, for the land they stole.
From the Welsh.
Think Native Indians and the white man.

Superfly... It's the shade of orange not the hairiness.
Apologies for being a pedant but? like so many attributed quotes to historical figures, sadly I don't think the stable quote is actually welliington's. Rather it was said about him- referring to his Irish origins.
I was disillusioned to learn that he probably never said my favourite Wellington quote, either 'I don't know what effect these men will have on the enemy, but by god they frighten me.'. Rather he noted in despatch the words of an earlier general... A 19c retweet.
Apparently there was no seaman Willy or roger the cabin boy in captain pugwash either. Life is full of little disappointments.

That Seaman Staines myth was around when I was still at school, back in the days of the Atari console, the ZX Spectrum and black and white portable TV's...or to put it in some real context, when Liverpool FC were still winning stuff (yes THAT long ago)

Re: the pride of Wales is......
Zx spectrum? Think the story pre-dated the zx81 Dave. Given it was regularly repeated, you'd think someone might have seen the odd episode to dispel the rumours, but no-one likes a killjoy. Spoken as this thread's killjoy.

Re: the pride of Wales is......
It is a lovely county indeed, lovely drive there and back. Whats the best place to go Steff?
Re: the pride of Wales is......
Thank you gents. I am actually a lot less nationalistic than I used to be (thank goodness you all say). I think though a bit of patriotism is healthy as long as it doesnt get taken to the extreme. In all fairness to some of the students on my course a couple of the English ones have learned a fair bit of Welsh just out of love for learning other languages and learning a bit of culture. They get a lot of respect off me for that
And Sha the best place to go by far is south Pembrokeshire. Country roads, seaside towns, beaches you wouldnt want to be anywhere else in the world if Wales actually saw sunlight. If your into walking though give the Brecon Beacons a crack. Cardiff is good though for the cosmo side of things and you even get to have a pint with me if your lucky

Love snowdonia, great hiking. Had a friend with a holiday home in New Quay, on Cardigan Bay, too – that was a lovely little place and an enjoyable drive to get there. Cardiff has never appealed though, basically an even worse version of Newcastle.

The parts I've been to (Swansea and Cardiff) basically look like a run down 60's high street. Maybe I was looking in the wrong places.

I would say you were. Every place is parts like that, I've been to parts of Manchester that look like they're still stuck in the 60s. Doesn't mean its an awful place, as with everywhere parts of Wales are fantastic.
